Lotus Cars USA is recalling 425 model year 2017-2018 Evoras.
The toe board in the passenger footwell lacks stiffness, allowing the knee of an unbelted occupant to contact the rigid structure of the vehicle, in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
Lotus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the toe board with a new design to provide the appropriate stiffness free of charge.
The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Owners may contact Lotus customer service at 1-800-245-6887. Lotus' number for this recall is 2019/01R.
